Chapter 61 Small talk
No matter what others said next, Xu Mingyuan no longer picked up the microphone.

From the 1990s to the early 2000s, there was very little pop music, and most people listened to music from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

The beginning of domestic pop music should be Yang Chengang, who made hundreds of millions with the song "Mouse Loves Rice". Anyway, Xu Mingyuan remembers that since this song, more and more pop music has come onto the stage of history.

The song he wants to sing is not available now, and Xu Mingyuan is too lazy to copy or write songs. He is a man who aspires to be an entrepreneur, so why would he do such business that will attract attention?

Xu Mingyuan, who has worked in business, has a deep understanding that as long as one does a good job, the policy support from various localities will be unimaginable. It can be said that one can cut through mountains and build bridges over rivers.

Forget about building a highway in front of the enterprise, even if they want a railway, the local government has to find a way to build it.

He had already transcended material pursuits, and now his spiritual pursuits had a chance to be realized. Xu Mingyuan no longer wanted to be a real estate developer who had to fiddle with other people's faces.

This is the real reason why Xu Mingyuan went to such great lengths to acquire a company from Xiangli Group.

"Xu Mingyuan, come on, how about we sing a song together?" Tang Lin asked.

"not so good."

"Then let you and Tao Tao."

"I do not want!"

Without waiting for Xu Mingyuan's consent, Tao Shuxin decisively refused.

She was very confident and knew exactly how she sang. If she sang with Xu Mingyuan, she would definitely be ridiculed.

In fact, Tao Shuxin was overthinking it. Xu Mingyuan didn't really laugh at her idea. She would sing very well in the future, which would be much better than himself, a half-baked singer.

After the new campus of No. 3 Middle School was completed, Xu Mingyuan and Tao Shuxin performed a song in the auditorium. In order to help the younger students of No. 3 Middle School learn foreign languages ​​well, they chose Casablanca.

At that time, Xu Mingyuan was still quite confident, but Tao Shuxin, who came on stage, had a completely different voice, making him, the lead singer, become a foil. The scene was very awkward. It was intentional to make him look bad.

It was a rare opportunity to vent one's emotions. When Xu Mingyuan's ears were callused from singing, everyone else's voices had become hoarse.

It took almost four hours to eat and sing, and it was almost ten o'clock.

Jiang Ping and Li Siqi live in the same residential complex. They went out to play without telling their parents, and their family members thought they were attending evening self-study classes and had to go home when it was time.

Two cousins ​​who had just entered the first year of high school were picked up by their parents more than an hour ago.

There were only four people left at this time.

"Please don't leave yet, otherwise it will be just the two of us. It's almost 04, what unforgettable days." Tang Lin's tone was pleading.

"I don't find it unforgettable. I'm going home to sleep."

"It's only this time and you want to go to sleep? Don't we usually study until twelve o'clock?" Tao Shuxin said with a frown.

"That's you. I usually fall asleep at eleven."

"No wonder you're a bad student. You go to bed so early. It's boring for the two of us to stay here. You stingy guy, what's the harm in staying a little longer? I've treated you to dinner for nothing." Tao Shuxin said dissatisfiedly.

"Forget it. You'll be meeting your mother soon."

"Have you done anything wrong? Are you still afraid of the teacher?"

Although Tao Shuxin felt a little nervous, she still replied stubbornly in order to hide her guilty conscience.

"Yes, don't you have a cell phone? Just call home." Tang Lin took over.

"Do not hit."

Xu Mingyuan didn't want to nag them anymore, so he took Xiao Yangzhi and was about to leave.

"It's just me and my brother at home."

Little Yangzhi replied weakly.

"Ok?"

Hearing Xiao Yangzhi's words, the three of them looked at her together.

Xu Mingyuan never told anyone else that Xu Jun was not at home, not even Lao Gao knew about it.

Perhaps Yang Zhi realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he lowered his head and dared not raise it.

"Xu Mingyuan, where is your father?" Tao Shuxin asked.

Tao Shuxin had met his father before. He came to the school to ask Lao Gao for leave for him. He was a very handsome man, and as far as he could remember, he was taller than Xu Mingyuan.

"not at home."

Xu Mingyuan answered casually.

"Why aren't you home? Are you away on a trip?"

"Where do you get so many questions? What are you asking?"

Xu Mingyuan became a little impatient.

The Xu family cannot be said to be kind for three generations, but they are also a respectable family.

Xu Mingyuan felt ashamed to have such a cheap father.

Seeing Xiao Yangzhi lowered her head and didn't say anything, Tao Shuxin didn't ask any more questions, thinking that she might be on a business trip. After all, her father only came home for two days a week, except for holidays, which was very normal.

"Xu Mingyuan, will your sister go to No. 3 Middle School after the high school entrance exam?"

"Well, let her go to No. 3 Middle School."

Xiao Yangzhi had no opinion of her own. Xu Mingyuan never asked her where she wanted to go to high school, and she never said it herself, so Xu Mingyuan simply decided for her.

In fact, in terms of teaching staff, No. 1 Middle School is stronger than No. 3 Middle School. The campus was newly built two years ago, so parents are more inclined to send their children to No. 1 Middle School. This will also cause No. 3 Middle School to be increasingly overtaken by No. 1 Middle School in the next few years. If you focus on studying, No. 1 Middle School is indeed the best choice. Xiao Yangzhi's grades are also very popular in No. 1 Middle School.

But no matter how good No. 1 Middle School is, Xu Mingyuan is more familiar with No. 3 Middle School and communication will be more convenient. So letting Xiao Yangzhi go to Lao Gao's class will be a good choice.

"That's perfect. Just wait a little longer and let my mother take care of your sister. She's been drinking today and is very easy to talk to." Tao Shuxin's eyes lit up.

"Your mother doesn't teach the class, why would you look for her? It would be easier for me to go directly to the principal."

"You are so proud that you even went to the principal to ask him to expel you?"

Tao Shuxin made a mocking remark.

"Haha, if he doesn't give me face, I'll overturn his desk." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"I don't believe it! Why don't you go and uncover it for me tomorrow?"

Seeing that he was bragging again, Tao Shuxin rolled her eyes.

"It's a day off tomorrow."

"Then wait until the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll go tell your mom that you encouraged me to overturn the principal's desk."

Xu Mingyuan nodded, stood up and was about to leave.

"Hey! How could you do this?"

Tao Shuxin jumped up from her chair, fearing that he would really tell tales. After all, there was nothing he dared not do.

Tang Lin's father's group of people were almost all sober after the meal. There was another party, but they would not bring their female relatives, so they would probably just drink tea and chat about business.

Xu Mingyuan thought it would be a good idea to let Xiao Yangzhi get to know He Qiong. When the new principal takes office next year, she will be promoted from the position of Dean of Studies. It would be a good thing for her to get to know her now.

Afterwards, several people went to the lounge outside the private room to chat. Xu Mingyuan didn't want to listen to the little girls' gossip, so he asked the waiter to bring a deck of cards. In order to let Xiao Yangzhi participate, he played the turtle drawing game with her.

After playing for about half an hour, Tao Shuxin wanted to target Xu Mingyuan, but he failed and was instead trapped by him.

Tao Shuxin had disguised herself very well, but could not withstand Xu Mingyuan's constant probing. After a few moves, her cards were exposed, and then she was laughed at by him and Tang Lin as a little turtle.

Xu Mingyuan’s little tricks can only be used a few times, and Tao Shuxin is not a fool.

She originally wanted to take revenge in this round, but when she only had two cards left, Xu Mingyuan threw down the cards in his hand and chose to overturn the table.

"Your parents are out."

"..."

Tao Shuxin looked up, clenched the cards in her hand tightly, and finally threw the crumpled cards away in shame and anger.

"Dad, I don't want to go home. I want to live at Taotao's house."

When Tang Lin saw her father coming, she mentioned it.

Tang Xinghua was very enthusiastic, and seeing that Xu Mingyuan had not left yet, he asked him if he had a good time, how he was doing at school, and other words that showed his concern for the younger generation.

Xu Mingyuan also expressed his gratitude for the hospitality.

"It's past ten o'clock. I'll have someone take you home."

"My home is not far from here, so it's not a problem."

"That won't work. It's not safe at night."

"Okay, thank you Uncle Tang."

Seeing that he had drunk quite a bit and was still a little unsteady when he walked, Xu Mingyuan smiled and agreed.

Tang Xinghua was the host today, but he didn't even chat with Xu Mingyuan for a few words before going to entertain the guests.

In order to prevent her mother from contacting Xu Mingyuan, Tao Shuxin hurriedly took Xiao Yangzhi to find her.

It was the first time that Xu Mingyuan saw Tao Changming, who was in his forties and in his prime, and he couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

Tao Changming also noticed him and waved to him.

"It was you who sent Chen Xiangli's youngest son in jail?" Tao Changming said.

Xu Mingyuan was stunned when he heard this, thinking that he was coming to settle a score with him.

He went downstairs to set off fireworks late at night, and it was Tao Shuxin's 18th birthday. No matter how busy he was, he would find time to go home.

"He got into trouble himself. It has nothing to do with me." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"We talked about you while we were having dinner. I heard that Secretary Zhao from the city government had asked for permission. Do you know him?"

"I don't know him, I've only met him once." Xu Mingyuan told the truth.

The black material he sent out was too important, which was why Duan Jianhe's secretary came to him in person.

But it was impossible to use this as a way to build relationships. Xu Mingyuan just mentioned a favor. For Zhao Bingsheng, it was just a matter of a phone call.

Duan Jianhe has been in Nanxi for too short a time, so it is difficult for others to establish a relationship with him, and some things can only be guessed.

For example, people like Tao Changming.

"Uncle Tao, instead of working hard at Xiangli Pharmaceutical, you might as well consider Xiangli Chemical. This will save you some effort."

Xu Mingyuan talked to him for a while, but felt it was boring, so he just said what he wanted to hear most.
